MORNING PRAYERS 41
MORNING PRAYER
Morar, ist September 190 —
still beautiful in her age, and in her youth she must have been very beautiful
and handsome.
Mary Gillies sang this poem in a recitative voice. The effect
was charming, but the poem was difficult to follow. The music and
rhythm were good, but these disappear in the process of writing.
Folklore reciters, not being accustomed to being stopped, become
confused with the interruptions of writing. When they are allowed to
proceed in their own way, music and poetry and pleasure flow back,
and all rejoice.
I BELIEVE, O God of all gods,
That Thou art the eternal Father of life ;
I believe, O God of all gods.
That Thou art the eternal Father of love.
I believe, O God of all gods.
That Thou art the eternal Father of the saints ;
I believe, O God of all gods,
That Thou art the eternal Father of each one.
I believe, O God of all gods,
That Thou art the eternal Father of mankind ;
I believe, O God of all gods.
That Thou art the eternal Father of the world.
I believe, O Lord and God of the peoples,
That Thou art the creator of the high heavens,
That Thou art the creator of the skies above.
That Thou art the creator of the oceans below.
